Over time, certain movements begin to lose their power to influence us. Gender, diversity, parity are among those concepts that are losing their sway among the targeted audience.

One may argue that this is not true — we see many Facebook posts, talks, articles, rallies and protest movements.

But, the questions to ask are — Who is participating in these movements? Who is engaging in these conversations? More often than not, it is like-minded individuals: those affected by the problem and those who from the start empathise with the issue.
